Ethernet PCI Adapter Installation Guide
Safety Information DANGER An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock. Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged. When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device. Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical potentials. During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers, telephones, or station protectors for communication lines.

Ethernet PCI Adapter Installation Guide
Chapter 1. Overview The Ethernet PCI Adapter is a 32-bit high performance expansion card for PCI-compatible systems adhering to the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) and IEEE 802.3 standards. The Ethernet PCI Adapter is available in two versions: Ethernet PCI BNC/RJ-45 adapter supports thin Ethernet (10Base2) and unshielded twisted-pair (10BaseT) local area networks. Ethernet PCI AUI/RJ-45 adapter supports standard Ethernet (10Base5) and unshielded twisted-pair (10BaseT) local area networks only.
Ethernet PCI Adapter Features The Ethernet PCI Adapter provides the following features: High-performance 32-bit card 33 MHz bus speed Easy to install and auto-configurable LED status indicators Media connection auto-sensing. The installation process consists of:
Taking an inventory of all pieces necessary for installation Installing the adapter Installing device drivers for the adapter Connecting to a network.
Handling the Adapter Attention: Static electricity can damage your equipment. Leave the adapter in its static-protective bag until you are ready to install it in your computer.

Chapter 4. Connecting to an Ethernet Network Refer to your local procedures for more information about connecting this adapter to your network. Note: Only one type of network may be attached to the card at a time.
10Base2 The following checklist describes the equipment required to connect the adapter to a 10Base2 Ethernet network.
Equipment Checklist A Ethernet coax RG-58 cable segment that is not longer than 185 meters (610 feet). One BNC T-connector One 50-ohm BNC terminator, if you system unit is the first or last workstation on the network.
Connecting the Network Cables To connect the adapter to a 10Base2 Ethernet network, refer to Figure 4-1 on page 4-2 and follow these steps: 1. Connect the T-connector's center barrel to the BNC connector on the card. Push the T-connector in and turn it clockwise to lock it into place. 2. If your system unit is either the first or last workstation on the network, attach the 50-ohm terminator to one arm of the T-connector. Push the terminator in and turn it clockwise to lock. Attach the coax Ethernet cable from the adjacent system unit to the other end of the T-connector.

10Base5 The following checklist describes the equipment required to connect the adapter to a standard Ethernet network.
Equipment Checklist An AC-coupled transceiver installed on a standard RG-8 Ethernet cable. Place the transceiver at least 2.5 meters (8 feet 3 inches) from adjacent transceivers to minimize interference. Approved Ethernet coaxial cable is marked with rings at 2.5-meter intervals. The adapter operates correctly only with an AC-coupled transceiver that is compatible with IEEE 802.3 and ISO 8802-3 specifications. It is not designed for use with DC-coupled transceivers. If you are uncertain as to whether your transceiver is AC-coupled, refer to its installation manual or ask you system administrator. A standard Ethernet transceiver cable with male and female 15-pin D-connectors. The transceiver cable must not be longer than 50 meters (165 feet).
Connecting the Network Cables To connect the adapter to an external transceiver that is installed on a standard Ethernet network, follow these steps: 1. Attach the transceiver cable's female connector to the 15-pin male D-connector on the external Ethernet transceiver (see Figure 4-3 on page 4-4). Secure the cable's connection with the slide latch on the female connector bracket.
